Lumpy Rug Day-May 3rd


Hi. Here's a fun one! Today is Lumpy Rug Day! So what exactly is Lumpy Rug Day? Well there are differing opinions:
  1. It's for all the people who are in desperate need of a new toupee.
  2. It has a symbolic meaning for those people who tend to sweep things under the carpet - time to "clean house" as it were. OR...
  3. It's time to clean house, literally. We're in spring cleaning mode (well I'm sure someone is in spring cleaning mode) and it's time to bid a fond farewell to all our dirty, worn, threadbare, "lumpy" rugs.
So, whether you chose one, two, or all three of the above reasons to celebrate - make it fun or die tryin'! At ehow.com you can find some fun ways to celebrate the day, or come up with something all on your own. Hey, maybe you can duct tape your lumpy rug around your body, go to the top of a big hill, have your friends stand down at the bottom, then roll down the hill and see if you can knock them over like bowling pins! Now don't be like that, it was just an idea!

Xal-Kor the Human Cat

History
Xal-Kor was from the 4th dimension. He claimed his race was cats that went into "hyper-evolution" (giving them human-like appearance and level-intelligence). He went to Earth to stop the "Rat people" known as "Rodentites" (who had similar powers as him) from conquering the Earth. Using his shape shifting, he took a job as a reporter named Colin Chambers (possibly a reference to Clark Kent). His Lois Lane-like secretary, Ann Rhoden, was really one of the Rodentites, but he didn't know this nor did she know that he was really Xal-Kor. He would often battle the Rodentites and usually acted kinda ruthless towards them (in his first appearance he killed two of them). But, he couldn't expose them without causing a panic. He never actually completely stopped their plan (in every story there would be like a dozen left alive).
Powers and Abilities
Xal-Kor can shape shift into a human or a cat. It was revealed he needs to turn into his true form, before turning from cat to human (or vise versa). He has limited telepathic abilities towards cats. He is very strong and agile, but it's unclear if it's to the superhuman level.
